Hello,
It is good that you have tapered serlift gradually before stopping it but you should also know that withdrawal symptoms last for almost 3 weeks. As dizziness is one of the withdrawal symptoms common for most of the antidepressant drugs, you can experience for a few more days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
